Goofusandgalant eners the battlefied untapped
When Goofusandgalant comes into play, search your library for a plane or scheme card and put it into your sideboard tapped.
Morbid-If a creature died this turn, Goofusandgalant enters the battlefield with 4 +1/+1 counters, 2 -1/-1 counters, a poison counter and trample.
Hellbent-If you have no cards in hand, draw three cards
Threshold-: Destroy target nonblack creature.  It can be regenerated.  Play this ability only if you have seven or more cards in your exile.

There's actually nothing in the rules against this (although all it does is make the card vulnerable to proliferate).

Wizards has avoided using +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters in the same block! They explained that it's too confusing because it's often hard to decide which of the counters are +1/+1 counters and which are -1/-1 counters..

But they have used both in two consecutive blocks, aka a Standard format, so the players must have gotten a grip of it anyway.
